Me too. :)
The conversations are quite witty and the characters all look real.
I wasn't a big fan of Fukada Kyoko, but she delivers well on this drama.
A big applaud to NHK for casting Hasegawa Hiroki and Fukada Kyoko.
And Suzuki Kyoka... she is stunning. I felt she was out of place on Pandora2,
but she is perfect on this one. Let's not forget YOU. She is being... YOU and
I just love her for that.
I wasn't sure how this drama can carry the heat through ep10 at first, but
the writer had a plan. It might be too early to say that, but I'm pretty optimistic. :p
I'm quite enjoying subbing this drama, just like I was with Mother.

I normally don't watch dramas that are so, well, serious as this (no real comedic moments at all) but I started watching last week on a whim and now I feel compelled to see it through to the end (especially considering the opening scene is sort of cliffhanger ). So thank you for all your hard work in subbing this; I can't wait to see how it evolves to get to that point!

Sigh, the finale is the worst ending I've seen in a drama in a long time - talk about building such a quality story only to burn it all down in the worst ravaging a good drama's ever received to make it suffer the ignominious end of the cliche crap that all J-dramas seem to end with.

Ahhhh....what I wouldn't do for a quality Jdrama that stayed that way to the end.

Not sure if you are talking about having watched the finale in Japanese without subs - but the subs just released were for the penultimate episode not the finale. It would be somewhat disappointing if that were actually the last one...

Talking about the finale. I didn't need subs for most of it. It's an utterly terrible ending - like building an intricate house of cards only to piss on it, and then burn it to the ground. So disappointing.

Oh ok - well since I need subs I can't really comment until they become available and I watch it.

Shame if it turns out that way as I thought it was building up to a finale quite nicely... oh well I'll comment further if needs be when I've seen it...[/spoiler]

I recommend putting a spoiler tag if you want to discuss about the final episode
since this is subtitle thread and most people who check here haven't watched the finale yet.
I'm sure some people prefer not to hear negative comments of the episode before watching it.
There's a discussion thread for it.

Good point - I don't think it was the intention to discuss it rather than just a quick comment on the ending. But you are right and even though not much was given away other than an opinion I've edited my postings anyway, just in case. My main concern really was to check that AmeOtoko wasn't thinking episode 9 was the finale by mistake.

For those who were disappointed, I actually liked how it ended.

I look forward to seeing it when you finish the subs. Great work - thank you for subbing
